## Resource

Phoenix is reviving a six-mile stretch of the Rio Salado riverbed, turning its industrial past into a vibrant hub for living, working, shopping, and recreation. Four key “catalyst sites” — including a 30-acre city-owned parcel near light rail — will feature businesses, community spaces, and pedestrian plazas, shaped by resident input like farmers markets and trails. While one site is city-owned, the other three are privately held, with future development guided by the city’s vision without altering zoning. The plan heads to the Planning Commission next month, poised to redefine the river as a dynamic urban centerpiece.
